I was just wondering why/how the 'sudden' change. And why christian? I mean, what about... russion orthadox? -)
Um, isn't Russian Orthodox a Christian chuch? and they have something called Ukrainian Orthodox too....

Also, I think that the Christian message is a democratic one at heart, how everyone is equal in the eyes of God and all. So maybe that appeals to people who were under communism for so long, who were (probably) poor, etc. And I have observed this too--I know some Ukranians who loooovvee Billy Graham, the evngelical preacher, and have his posters and go to his speeches. Weird.
